Offset link for heavy-duty chain

This Dayton offset link connects two strands of number 140 roller chain when an odd number of pitches is required. It suits agricultural drives, conveyor systems and industrial power transmission where single-strand steel chain is specified. The riveted pin construction provides a permanent joint that resists vibration and shock loads in continuous operation.

Temperature and strength envelope

The link operates reliably between 10 degrees F and 150 degrees F, so it remains functional in cold storage and hot process environments. Tensile strength is rated at 38,280 lbf, matching the full capacity of the 140 series chain. Mid-carbon steel plates and a riveted pin diameter of 0.5 in maintain this rating without a heavy-series upgrade.

Installation notes and common issues

A standard chain breaker or press fits the riveted pin through the 1/2 in pin holes; peening the pin ends locks the joint permanently. Misalignment during pressing can oval the holes and reduce tensile strength, so support both plates evenly. The link adds one pitch length of 1 3/4 in, so verify overall chain length before cutting the mating strands.

Questions about this item

Should I choose this single-strand offset link or a double-strand version for my 140 chain?

This is a single-strand offset link; match it to a single-strand 140 chain. If your drive uses two strands side by side you need a double-strand offset link instead.

What does the 38,280 lbf tensile strength mean when the link is installed in my drive?

It is the minimum force the riveted-pin link can withstand before breaking; design your drive so peak loads stay well below that figure for safe service life.

How does the 1 3/4 in pitch limit the sprockets I can use with this link?

The link only meshes with sprockets cut to a 1 3/4 in pitch; any other pitch will not engage the rollers correctly.
